Bogus Butter Case.

The case of the State Dairy Commis-
sion against John r. Callahan, of this
city Monday, for selling oleomargar
inc unlawfully, proved that a portion
of the law is merely a farce. The only
reason that Mr. Callahan is now called
upon to pay a fine of $100 to the State,
is from the fact that the tub from
which he sold the oleomargarine, had
not painted upon it a plain black band.
True, the tub was plainly marked
oleomargarine, and the packages sold,
had wrapped around them paper
upon which was printed in plain type,
the word ''oleomargarine." Then too,
the gentleman sold the article as oleo-
margarine, and made no effort to evade
the law. But the simple fact that the
black band was not upon the tubs,
makes him liable for a fine of 800.
1t would seem as if this law was
more of an imposition than help to
our people, and it does not seem as if
it was necessary for our State Com
mission to prosecute such case. Mr..
Callahan stated on his oath that he
asked the State Inspector to come
down in his cellar, so that he might
see for himself, how he carried on the
business, and if he was not doing just
as the law required, to be informed.
Instead of this however, he was bid
cordial good day, and the result of his
frankness is that in all probability,
unless an appeal to Court sets aside
the decision of the Justice, he will be
required to pay the fine of 800, and
the costs which will amount to much
more.

"Hotel Cumberland" was thrown open
to the public. A large number of peo-
pie were present, among the number.
being many of our leading citizens,
together with other visitors from the
towns and villages of this, and ada
cent counties. .., "a,
The dinner, which was served from
one to four o'clock, was grand affair,
comprising everything that the skill
and taste of the caterer could suggest.
In the evening the program was
very elaborate, and surpassed any
occasion of the kind ever held in
Cumberland County. The menu was
printed on fancy edge Bristol board,
containing a beautiful electrotype pic
ture of the hotel, furnished by Messrs.
MCGOWAN & Nichols, of the PIONEER.
AS is we'll known the Hotel Cum
berland is located on a portion of the
old site of the Davis House, Bridge
tons old-time hostelry, which, for a
period of over seventy years, was
headquarters for all the country round
about the county seat. There were
many interesting, and even historic
recollections connected with the old
tavern, so that when, in the Spring of
1886, it was decided by a vote of the
people that license for the sale of
liquor should no longer be granted
here, the public spirited men of the
town began to look around, and see
what was best to be done. They
recognized the necessity of public
house in city which was growing so
rapidly, and knew that unless such a
house was established there would be
great public inconvenience, and danger
to the business interests of the place.
When it was fully and finally decided
that licenses were to terminate, the
then proprietor of the Davis House,
Mr.. Briant, announced that he was
ready to quit business and anxious to
sell. Shortly afterward the property
was purchased by VIM. G. Nixon, Esq,
and placed in the hands of Walter H.
Bacon, one of our most promising
young barristers. He Immediately be-
gan the work of dividing up and sell
ing off the property, making of it sew
eral elegant business sites, and it is
largely due to his perseverance and
energy that the old corner is so hand
somely improved. Mr. Bacon was one
of the leaders in the hotel movement,
and early in March, 1886, he called a
meeting, at his office, of those inter
ested In the proposition Severafieading
citizens responded A few days later,
on the 22d of March. another meeting
was held, this time in the bar-room o.
the old Davis House, and there it was
decided to purchase the property and
begin the erection of new hotel. This
decision having been made, stock
company was organized with the fol-
lowing Board of Directors:-Fr Francis b.
Minch, Daniel Bacon, Benjamin Han
cock, Ed. NJ. Fithian, J. Duy Johnson,
Capt. F. M. Riley. Eli E. Rogers,
Albert F. Randolph, Fred F. Smith.
F. B. Minch was chosen President of
the Board, and Walter H. Bacon, Sec
tary, Wosk then began in earnest,
but it seemed for time as though the
enterprise would fail, because of the
lack of substantial aid on the part of
many who ought to have taken large
interest, but did not. Finally the
necessary capital was pledged, and the
company, composed of about sixty

Once in working order, the style and
cepacity OF the building were decided
upon, and the plans submitted by
Frank r. Watson, architect, of No.
SIS Walnut street, Philadelphia, were
accepted. Mr. Albert F. Randolph, of
Bridgeton, was selected as the con-
tractor and builder. Shortly after
ward the sound of the saw and ham
iner was heard upon the old Davis
House, when a large portion of it was
torn down, and the balance, being the
more modern parts, removed to the
rear of the site on which the ''Hotel
Cumberland" was to be erected.
The site is one of the best that could
have been selected. 1t fronts on North
Laurel street, 57feet. running through
to Cohansey avenue, $50 feet. The
front of the building is 40 feet, and the
entire length from street to street, 14S
feet. The design is very fine, and of
an entirely different style of architec-
ture than any heretofore seen in this
section of the State. The front is of
the best quality Chester pressed brick,
with ornamented galvanized iron trim
mings, four stories in height, sur
mounted by tower of fine proper
tions, and that in turn by a beautiful
weather vane. Such front attracts
attention from long distance looking
either up or down Laurel street, and
gives the edifice a very impressive ap-
pearance. The doors and windows
are remarkable for their beauty, while
to the finish of the front on the second
story there is an elegant balcony of
novel design, and massive doorway
through which entrance is obtained to
the hotel from Laurel street. On the
North side there is a driveway, eleven
feet wide, which passes under pretty
balcony, the top of which will be used
as a veranda for the guests of the house.
The main portion of the building,
sixty feet in length, is of brick, but the
rear portion is of frame. The house
contains fifty rooms, and will furnish
accommodations for one hundred
guests with ease and comfort. On ex-
ira occasions two hundred persons can
be given apartments, if necessary. The
interior is elegantly arranged and fit
finished in white pine, and has fancy
mantel-piece with open fire place,
French glass windows, electric bells,
convenient office desk and furniture,
Marvin safe for the keeping of valu-
ables, and all the modern hotel facili-
ties. Back of the office is smoking
ing and reading room, and in the rear
of that, after crossing a small hall,
splendid wash room with marble fix
ings, and beyond that water-closet
fitted up and wainscotted in heart pine
with every facility for purity and
cleanliness. Entrance to the dining
room is obtained through the main
corridor running along the centre of
the building, which is brilliantly lighted
by gas burners of the latest and most
approved patterns. The dining room
is a model of beauty, and will seat one
hundred guests. 1t is papered in the
highest style of the decorators art,
and is the work of Thos b. Woodruff,
who also did the papering in the other
rooms of the establishment. The
kitchen is roomy, and supplied with
every species of apparatus calculated
to make the culinary department a
success. There is range of mammoth

The two horse load of capons which
a farmer brought to Timoth Campbell's
poultry depot, Wednesday, was a
sight to look upon. The average
weight OF the chickens were from eight
to thirteen pounds. The aggregate
weight Of the load was between 1900
and 1900 pounds. The farmer received
for his load $4,000. This is said to be
the largest load ever brought into our
market by one man.

Quail Courtship.

| once had the pleasure Of witnessing
the courting and pairing of of flock
of quail. 1 was sitting so / could look
down upon fiat rock that stood up
higher than the tops of athicket Of brush
and weeds surrounding it, near small
brook. | first heard the chatter OF
quails in the brush. After holding
quite an animated eonfab one hen quail
flew up on the rock and was followed
by five or six males. Miss Quail strutted
around few times, apparently not no.
ticing her admirers, as suming coquet-
tish attitudes, and putting on more
style and affectation than human
dudess of the present day. She finally
took conspicuous position and ap-
peared to devote her entire attention TO
herself. Her admirers, In the mean
time. stood around and looked at each
other with defiant eye and mieD. They
then began to strut around, spread and
trail their wings, try graceful walks
and poises, each striving to Guido the
others. The more they tried TO make
favorable impression before Miss Quail
the more excited they became, until
they went to fighting.
They fought hard and furiously, un-
iii at last one OF them, by fortunate
pass, knocked his antagonist of the
rock. He did not stop, but pitched into
the first one he came TO. aud then kept
knocking one OF at time until there
was but one lett. Tue victor took one
comprehensive look over the field Of
battle, struck up rattling clatter and
walked up to Miss Quail, strutted
around few times with hself-importaDce
enough for United States Senator,
keeping up a rattling sound of-of-
well, blarney, suppose. Finally they
rubbed heads and bills together, walked
to the north side Of the rock, rose sim
ulianeously and flew away, lighting to-
gether, ready for housekeeping. An
other hen then came upon the rock with
three or four males aud went through
the same form Of eourting, and to the
victor-the reward OF wife. So it
went on until all the hens were mated
and gone. After that three males came
upon the rock and absolutely looked for
lorn and showed it in every motion.
They few 10 different direction from
all the others. When male had been
whipped or driven of the rocks ne nor
none of the others would come up
again. After the contest started those
who commenced were the ones to win
or lose. The whole thing was very
much like human nature.-SaH Diego Sna.
